I'm glad you are getting a different perspective here. I mean that!
But in your real life, you are already getting your views validated so I didn't see my role here as doing more of that.
I am admittedly putting myself in her shoes.
For sure, I see that as something someone here has to do, for YOUR benefit.
I can't say I'm 'projecting" b/c My husband did NOT treat me the way you seem to treat your wife, but keep in mind that sometimes, as I said to you long ago,
I want to use her perspective for you...
b/c I don't think seeing things through your eyes again, helps you much.
and fwiw, if you read my last post and your response
see if you may be reacting to things you THINK/FEARED I MEANT-
rather than what I actually said.
good luck Snowman
I wish you and your wife and son well.
